Props go to @DoxSavage for doing the research work on this massive compilation of information on various fascist and far-right movement members in the New England area.

The crossover of outright fascist associations between Resist Marxism and Boston Free Speech has been documented over and over again – yet they still adamantly deny their true nature while organizing with open fascists. They share members with Patriot Front, a white supremacist spinoff from the neo-nazi organization Vanguard America. If you don’t know Patriot Front, the ADL calls them “a racist, anti-Semitic white supremacist group” and the SPLC calls them “a white nationalist hate group“. The information provided here simply proves further what we have always known.

In the American flag mask (above) is Patriot Front member Chris Hood (@BDThanRed). Here he is at Boston Free Speech’s protest at the Harvard Coop. That is also Boston Free Speech’s founder Steven Verrette on the far right.

Steven Verrette, pictured above, sporting an Anti-Communist Action hat while harassing and intimidating a pro-DACA rally in Boston last year.

Here’s a real nice selfie that Boston Free Speech organizer John Medlar (@WeirdLittleBro) took of him and Chris Hood of Patriot Front. It’s worth mentioning that Hood was actively recruiting for Patriot Front during this time, thanks to Unicorn Riot’s Discord Leaks for the context!

In the photo (above) Chris Hood is in the center, posing like the pathetic goon he is, and on the left is Matt Smaller – he’s from Rockland, MA and works at Shaws in Hanover.

In a video posted by Patriot Front on twitter, you can see Matt Smaller destroying property tearing down someone’s flags on a fence outside a home, Smaller was also dumb enough to wear the same cargo shorts/sunglasses combo he always does.

Chris Hood (left) and Matt Smaller (right) hang all the time too, doing fashy stuff together comfortable in their perceived anonymity – in this photo from March 2018.

Matt Smaller is part of the “blue bloc” too. That’s him in the light blue jacket above holding the flag and that’s John Medlar in the front – in this photo from June 2018.

Matt Smaller is unsurprisingly also a raging anti-Semite, he uses the (((echoes))) when he’s talking about Jews.

Here’s Michael Moura (left) in Boston on 8/18 in “blue bloc” standing shoulder to shoulder with Jason Muscara – Proud Boy and Vice President of Connecticut’s chapter of American Guard; an SPLC designated hate group.

Here’s “blue bloc” member Zach Noyes aka @Adan_Tirith with NH American Guard president John Camden in June 2018 – Camden is known for his neck tattoo of a Wolfsangel, a prominent National Socialist symbol. So if Boston Free Speech & Resist Marxism aren’t fascist organizations, then why are they spending so much time with open fascists like Patriot Front and American Guard?

He has even written for Proud Boy magazine – in which he uses the (((echoes))) to refer to Jews, a meme started by the neo-nazi podcast The Daily Shoah.

Medlar organized a Proud Boys event for Patriots’ Day 2018 in Concord, MA – at which Unite the Right 2 speaker Jovi Val was an honored guest.

Here’s a video of Unite the Right 2 speaker Jovi Val giving a speech at the Proud Boys reception following John Medlar’s Patriots’ Day rally.

This is John Medlar in the Proud Boys’ signature black-and-yellow polo giving a speech at the same event. This video is from Gabriel Brown’s youtube channel.

Gabriel Brown is a white nationalist who attended Unite the Right in Charlottesville – the above photo shows him with “Crying Nazi” Christopher Cantwell and the photo below shows him posing with a Vanguard America contingent at UTR, with nazi murderer James Alex Field’s Jr. visible behind him.

Remember the “It’s Okay to be White” stickers that popped up around Boston last fall? That was Ary Ziegler (above), Medlar’s fellow Proud Boy and Boston Free Speech associate. Ary Ziegler admits to posting the signs in a video on John Medlar’s youtube channel, but he has since removed the video.

Scratch the surface of any associate of John Medlar and a nazi will bleed – just look at his Facebook friends list. These are random screenshots – there’s two members of Patriot Front, Matt Smaller and Connor Raymond (aka Chris Hood). Every person visible is a fascist.

The person pictured above is a Boston Free Speech “blue bloc” member called Chest – his real name is Trevor Carey and he lives in Stoughton, MA area, formerly of Shrewsbury. (by the way, on the left in the MAGA hat is Chris Hood and on the right is Mark Sahady – even a random photo will show you how connected these groups are)

Trevor Carey was also the guy who ran the fake “North Shore Antifa” Youtube channel. (and the fake South Shore Antifa facebook page) Trevor is a violent racist, he carries a concealed handgun at protests, he’s been arrested for pulling a gun on a protestor, and he’s a believer in MGTOW which the SPLC has classified as “a hateful ideology advocating for the subjugation of women”. Watch a moment of one of his videos from his channel Chest Guy MGTOW and compare the voice and hair color to one of the fake “North Shore Antifa” videos and you have a match.

Here he is full unmasked after the 8/4 rally in Providence, still wearing his Boston Free Speech shirt and white rope string backpack.

At protests he typically wears a backpack with rope straps crossed over his chest. He’s almost always got a camera with him too. He posts some of the videos on his “Chest Guy MGTOW” channel, here he is threatening to sexually assault a couple of protestors at the March for Our Lives back in March – and here he is harassing another protestor that same day. (videos contain extremely graphic threats of sexual assault)

Trevor Carey’s twitter.

His reddit account /uTheChestGuy posting on r/racewarpreppers. He thinks we’re in the middle of a race war.

Trevor Carey carries a concealed handgun with him to protests. These pictures (above) from June 2 show the bulge on his right hip where his concealed handgun is located.

Here’s Trevor Carey on August 18 – see the bulge on his right hip? He also appears to have a knife clipped in his pocket as well.

The above photo shows Trevor Carey counterprotesting the May Day celebrations in Boston. The bulge here lacks the distinct L-shape of handgun, but he’s definitely armed with something like a large knife or pepper spray.

Resist Marxism and Boston Free Speech plan to return to Providence, RI on October 6th – as these groups get more violent and more brazen in their attacks, antifascists must be ever more vigilant in shutting them down wherever they appear. These characters, however laughable, pose a serious threat as part of the nationwide surge in far-right street activity.

Just in this past week, several recruitment flyers were posted around Rhode Island College by the neo-nazi group Patriot Front, a group that shares members and associations with Resist Marxism and Boston Free Speech.

Use the information from this page to identify the violent fascists coming to Providence on October 6th, and join community members in defending their city from this scum.

Once again, special thanks to @DoxSavage for this invaluable research. Please follow them on Twitter as more info is expected to be released.

The far-right demonstrators were surrounded and outnumbered 20-1 by antifascist counter protestors, with the neo-fascists enjoying the protection of a line of Boston police with helmets and bicycles.

This demonstration brought out a number of familiar faces in the far-right scene around Boston, as well as some new faces. We have compiled some photographs from the event to document who is who in this small, yet concerning, neo-fascist street movement. More information will be added as it becomes available.

American Guard members, from Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts have been increasingly present at these far-right events in the Northeast – with coordination between them and Resist Marxism organizers becoming more apparent.

Autonomous far-right street activity in so-called southern New England has seen a recent increase from Boston based neo-fascist groups “Resist Marxism” and “Boston Free Speech”, whose alt-right and white nationalist ties have been uncovered more and more.

After the failed rally in Providence, RI this past weekend – where several Resist Marxism and Boston Free Speech organizers and supporters were quickly shut down and ran out of town – @ElmCityAntifa tweeted out some great info about these local fascists that we wanted to post here to be documented. Good stuff Elm City Antifa!

In an August 6th livestream by Jovi Val, he interviewed Mark Sahady about Resist Marxism’s Providence rally, meanwhile neo-nazi John Camden of the NH American Guard can be seen in the livechat praising his friends in Resist Marxism.

The neo-fascists are returning to Boston once again for an August 18th rally.

Turns out you CAN make this stuff up, Medlar – sharing posts from a known fake antifa page; the right can’t stop falling for it’s own trolls.

Join community members in defending Boston from the far-right in the anti-fascist counter-demonstration and remembrance rally to commemorate those who have lost their lives to violent fascists.

Last year, white supremacist Jason Kessler sought to bring together a large coalition of far-right, white nationalist and neo-nazi groups under the banner of his ‘Unite The Right’ event in Charlottesville. While the events of August 12, 2017 have seriously fractured the ‘alt-right’ movement, whose factions have turned on each other in the fallout of the death of Heather Heyer, Kessler is still planning a ‘Unite The Right 2’ anniversary event and has been promoting events in both Charlottesville and Washington, DC for the weekend of August 12, 2018.

Through chat logs, obtained by Unicorn Riot, of a Facebook Messenger group created by Kessler to plan his ‘Unite The Right 2’ event, we can see the name of Rickey Entwisle chatting with Kessler and other organizers. Rickey Entwisle was one of the billed speakers of Resist Marxism‘s June 2nd Rally in Boston.

Rickey Entwisle pictured above speaking at the Massachusetts State House steps as part of Resist Marxism’s June 2nd for the 2nd Amendment Rally.

Rickey Entwisle was basically live-chatting his experience in Boston with Resist Marixsm, back to Jason Kessler and others that are trying to organize a ‘Unite the Right 2’ rally.

With far-right rallies happening everywhere from Washington, DC to Portland and Berkeley, to our backyards in Providence and Boston– it’s clear now more than ever that we need to step up our strength even more in the streets in response to this increase in autonomous right wing street activity.

The Cambridge/Boston Women’s March organizers describe Saturday’s rally as “an occasion to recognize the resistance efforts undertaken thus far, and to further mobilize our collective energies for the year ahead.”

Unfortunately, the alt-right group Resist Marxism has taken the rally’s statement that “all are welcome” as an invitation to promote their racist organization and spread xenophobia and Islamophobia under the auspices of “women’s rights.”

Resist Marxism, which claims to “Defend the Constitution against violent extremists and the Regressive Left,” was a leading organization behind the so-called “Rally for the Republic” in November, alongside militias such as the Three Percenters and the Oath Keepers. These groups have lengthy track records of racist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic and xenophobic activities. Their violent ideals do not belong at a peaceful women’s march for equality and resistance.

Speakers

Resist Marxism’s plan for the Women’s Solidarity March is simply to show up with megaphones and their own battery of prepared speakers in an attempt to drown out other voices of resistance. They are not affiliated with the event organizers and have simply decided to crash the march for the purpose of distracting, disrupting and recruiting. And their speakers are, at best, unqualified.

Ylva MorriganYlva Morrigan will be speaking against abortion rights. Morrigan’s public Facebook page contains disturbing rants detailing how “Christians are under attack” and warning of a “Sharia takeover” of America. At a time when the right to safe, legal abortion and Muslims’ freedom of religion are truly under attack, this rhetoric represents a dangerous targeting of vulnerable women and communities.

Samson RacioppiSamson Racioppi, who was previously arrested for violent “reckless conduct” and has a history of violent and xenophobic behavior, is set to speak on women in Islam. The lives and experiences of Muslim women are not things to be ogled or treated as props in the service of a political group with both sexist and Islamophobic platforms. Further, a male, non-Muslim with a known history of violence should not speak for women who face extreme threats, including from unpredictable men like Racioppi.

Lily MarsdenLily Marsden, a 19 year old newcomer to the far-right scene, is a self-proclaimed libertarian and anarcho-capitalist (two ideologies which provide an entry to fascism) and who has already adopted some of the alt-right’s distinctive rhetoric online. She will be speaking on “Third Wave Feminism issues.” While third wave feminism is most notable for its emphasis on an intersectional approach, one which takes into account the multidimensional ways in which women are oppressed, the alt-right has doubled down on the movement, claiming it is built on factual and logical inaccuracies. Third wave feminism seeks to include all women, yet the alt-right and their ideology around feminism and women in general seeks to include only women who are deemed socially acceptable.

Michael Moura

Michael Moura is young, but already a regular at far-right nationalist events. Notably, he is a supporter of Kyle Chapman and met with him at the “Mother of All Rallies” in Washington, D.C., (in violation of the terms of Chapman’s bail) last September. That event was promoted by and featured Patriot Prayer’s Joey Gibson, a man who has refused to make any effort to prevent explicit white nationalists from attending his events on the West Coast. Due to Moura’s association with individuals like Chapman and Gibson who espouse dangerous white supremacist ideals and endorse violence, we are concerned that Moura will use this platform to encourage violence against immigrants and other women.

Resist Marxism is blatantly taking advantage of the “all are welcome” approach of the Women’s March in an attempt to establish an ideological foothold for their hateful ideals.

We reject Resist Marxism’s cynical attempt to co-opt the feminist movement in search of an entry point for spreading their bigoted and dangerous rhetoric.

If the organizers and participants of this march truly stand by their commitment to “basic human rights for all individuals, regardless of gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, race, age, religion, nationality, immigration status, disability, economic status, geographical residence, health status, culture, and political affiliation,” we expect them to:

Unite against Resist Marxism’s message of hate

Deny Resist Marxism and their hateful ideology any platform by which they may disseminate their propaganda.

Resist Marxism and their supporters will meet on Saturday at 12PM in Cambridge at the John Harvard statue before heading to the common. We encourage everyone to show up to confront them and reject their message, and make it clear that they are not welcome in any activist spaces around here.

On the night of Friday, December 1, author and Professor Mark Bray gave a reading of his book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook at the Coop in Harvard Square. A number of far right “anti-communists” showed up with the intention of disrupting the event. Afterwards, one “anti-communist” was involved in an altercation that left his face badly bruised (we are unaware of any other specific injuries at this time).

We know that they did not come in good faith to merely “listen” to Prof. Bray speak, as they claimed, because “AntiCom” organizer Chris Bartley, in his eternal, desperate bid for fame, turned to Periscope along with his friend Matthias Thorpe immediately following the event to livestream their take on what they had just witnessed. They began by inflating their own sense of machismo by claiming that they had been kicked out, which is untrue—they remained in the Coop until the event was finished just like most of the rest of the crowd. But more importantly, they describe the event as filled with “commies” and Bartley eventually stated that “punching commies” is “his thing,” pointing to Thorpe. Thorpe responded by saying, “Yeah, punch commies, fuck commies.”

They came to the talk in the hope of provoking something and, when it turned out that the talk was nothing more than that—a talk—they wanted to make more of it. So they had to puff themselves up by claiming they had been kicked out and, as has become a kind of mantra for entitled white men whose voices are not given the amplification they feel they deserve, they claimed victimhood and a violation of their free speech rights.

Thorpe is both eager to tout his alleged toughness and fond of supporting actual neo-Nazis. He is also an organizer with the “AntiCom” group, which has already been documented as having close ties to neo-Nazi organizations. Given those links and his own talk of engaging in “anti-communist” violence immediately before he was actually involved in an altercation, his and Bartley’s claim that he was merely minding his own business and not looking for any trouble—that he’s an innocent guy who was misidentified as a fascist and never wanted a confrontation—rings more than a little hollow. They, both as individuals and as part of the groups they associate with, are chronic “victims” of a left that is allegedly hell-bent on violence and racist against white people. All of these claims are absurd on their face and would not even be worth responding to except that the far right media apparatus is already working to turn this event into a rallying cry for further violence against the left in general and antifa organizers in particular.

Fighting fascism and white supremacy is not an act of violence unto itself. It is an act of individual and community self-defense and we will not apologize for that.

Bartley’s Twitter page indicates that he is an organizer with Boston AntiCom Action and the far right, chronically dishonest Turning Point USA. His profile picture shows him smiling with violent “Western Chauvinist” Kyle “Based Stick-Man” Chapman.

As the weekend approaches, “Resist Marxism” is planning to hold their “Rally For The Republic” Saturday on the Boston Common (11/18/17) without a permit from the city. R4TR.org – the main organizing site for the Boston rally and a mirror site of ResistMarxism.org – touts itself as an “umbrella organization consisting of affiliated groups who work together to defend free speech from government suppression and violent mobs”.

But “Resist Marxism” is nothing more than a front organization for Kyle Chapman (Based Stickman). A simple WHOIS lookup for ResistMarxism.org reveals that the site is owned and exclusively controlled by Chapman.

He’s also a career criminal. Chapman’s first arrest, in 1993, was for armed robbery in Texas, and he served 30 months. In 2001, he shoplifted $400 worth of merchandise from a California Macy’s, for which he served two-and-a-half years. In 2008, he was arrested for two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm. At that time, according to The Smoking Gun, investigators seized “body armor, a Ruger pistol, two throwing knives, a bag of ‘suspected marijuana,’ metal knuckles, two glass pipes, assorted ammo and shotgun shells, clips, and magazines.” After being freed on bond, he fled and spent one month as a fugitive before surrendering to federal agents and being sentenced to 63 months in federal prison. Recently, Chapman was again arrested for attacking counter-protesters at a March 4, 2017 alt-right rally in Berkeley, California. Conditions of his bail included staying at least 300 feet away from a Berkeley anti-Marxist rally held in August 2017. He is also barred from owning weapons of any kind, including knives and even the stick that gave him his nickname.

For us here in Boston, Chapman is an outsider coming to threaten our city and attempt to radicalize Trump supporters, conservatives, and right-wingers into violent action against Black, Brown, Muslim, and Jewish communities.

The motley crew of organizers that have been working together to plan and carry out this rally claim that they are against racism and fascism, but as we have already seen, it doesn’t take much scratching at the surface to find their dirt.

Through the covert infiltration of their Facebook organizing group (which seems to be their most comfortable organizing setting) we can see who they have assigned to serve in different roles leading up the rally.

Mark Gabriel Sahady, 43 years old, of Malden, Mass.
Leading organizer of “Rally For The Republic”
Unemployed, lives with his parents Elaine M. and George G. Sahady

“Nik Haines” of Gilford, NH is involved with the organizing of “Resist Marxism” and has been tasked as an infiltrator to mix in with counter-protestors.

Here is Nik Haines dressed up as “Captain Confederate”

Suffolk University student, “Resist Marxism” organizer, and aspiring Congressman – Samson Racioppi enjoys debating online with people of color about how his politics aren’t racist, and also enjoys smoking pot in the Boston Common while begging passersby to discuss libertarian theory and the value of the free market with him. Sad.

Whats up with these guys joking about being Nazis but losing their shit when their political associations get them labeled as such?

Black organizers of the November 18th counter-rally held a press conference by the Parkman Bandstand in the Boston Common last Friday, so naturally, being the fascist trolls that they are, “Resist Marxism” sent two of their organizers to harass the women of color that were speaking to the press.

Local political basket case Garret Kirkland showed up with his “No Step on Snek” gadsden meme flag, along with another close associate of Resist Marxism.

Here is a screenshot of part of the member list of the private “Resist Marxism” Facebook organizing group. Gabriel Brown is included as one of the committed organizers of the rally.

Gabriel Brown’s YouTube channel shows videos of him attending various far-right and neo-nazi events and demonstrations. Here is a screen cap of him at the first Boston Free Speech Rally back in May.

In this video, Gabriel is at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA where neo-nazi James Alex Fields Jr. brutally murdered a counter-protestor and severely injured dozens more. * This video shows the nazi murderer (Fields) standing directly behind Gabriel Brown’s left shoulder.

Brown has long been associated with fringe far-right groups, he identifies as a National Anarchist and operates the Facebook page for National Anarchist Tribal Alliance – New York (NATA-NY) We cannot seem to comprehend the concept of a “National Anarchist” other than being a variation of “National Socialist”, which would make sense because Gabriel is known to hang out with far-right ultra-nationalist crews the 211 Bootboys (211) and Battalion 49 (B49), both which maintain ties to neo-nazi boneheads.

Resist Marxism needs to fuck right off with their thinly-veiled bullshit.
See you on Saturday!
